Pegasus staff has over 150 years of hands-on experience

The Pegasus Coin and Jewelry Team consists of John Maben and his staff of 9 other professionals.

Maben, the owner of the company, entered the coin business full time in 1978 and now is in his fourth decade as a distinguished professional numismatist and precious metals expert.

His experience includes eight years at Numismatic Guaranty Corporation as Executive Vice President and a Grading Finalizer. Additionally, he was a part-time grader at Professional Coin Grading Service in the 1980s.

More recently, he owned and was CEO of ModernCoinMart, which he sold in 2015.

In 2015, he formed John Maben LLC. Pegasus Coin and Jewelry is a DBA under John Maben LLC.

Maben is a Life Member of the American Numismatic Association. He has been a member of the Professional Numismatists Guild since 1986, where he served as a board member from 2013 through 2017. He also is an Accredited Precious Metals Dealer (APMD) and holds Life Memberships with the Florida United Numismatists, Central States Numismatic Society, and Garden State Numismatic Society. Pegasus is a member of both the BBB and the Manatee Chamber of Commerce.

While most of our customers come from north of Tampa to South of Ft Myers, we also get customers from Ocala, Gainesville, Sun City, Orlando, and The Villages. Some have even come from as far away as Miami / Fort Lauderdale / Boca Raton, Jacksonville and Tallahassee because they like the way we do business and treat our customers with respect – in our safe and secure modern store. They realize that integrity matters, and experience pays.

Hope to see you soon!
